When does the pain go away?

Richard Castle is a broken man and doesn't like his life anymore. He would end it if he wasn't so damn chicken about it. Still he is about to meet his savior, or is she more a nightmare? Should he fear the night? Still she is just what he needs at this point in time. - No character death - Minor S&M - I've decided to add a chapter about once a month.

Kate stripped off her clothes and put on a sleep shirt. She finished closing all the shutters and pulled the blackout drapes closed. "Where are you Alexis?" She was worried and got her phone to call her, when it started ringing with caller ID showing that it was Alexis.

"Alexis, where are you? It's getting late," Kate asked her, sounding worried.

"We lost track of time mom, I'm so sorry. …I can't make it mom, I'm too far." Alexis sounded scared for the first time in a long time.

"Tell me where you are and I'll come get you, we don't have much time," Kate asked her, and Alexis gave her the address and sent her a picture.

Kate jumped immediately and could feel the night giving way to daylight. Alexis was only a few feet away and Kate jumped right to her. She wrapped her arms around Alexis and jumped for home.

Kate let go of Alexis. "That was cutting it close, sweetie." Kate stepped back and looked Alexis over.

Alexis had one of her tops in her hand along with her black bra and her red lipstick was smeared all over her face. The only top she was wearing was the see through camisole, even her slacks were barely fastened. And where the hell were her shoes?

"I take it that Paige, your human friend, is into women or, to be more specific, you." Kate was smiling since she hoped that this meant Alexis was happy.

Alexis started grinning. "We made love, mom. She is such a very good lover and I love her taste. All of her taste. We had so many orgasms. Paige was so worried that I wasn't interested in her. I think your outfit choice made the difference." Alexis was smiling very wide.

Kate stepped up and took Alexis in her arms. "I'm so happy for you sweetie, you deserve to have someone…" The two of them in each others' arms fell to the floor dead as the sun hit the outside shutters on the windows.

It is now the evening of July 6, 2001:

Kate was getting dressed next to Alexis. It had been a harried last few days. Kate, Alexis, and the house worked hard to get their lab up and running with Kate jumping out to get the equipment that they needed along with all the acid she could come up with.

"You have plans for tonight Alexis?" Kate asked while fastening her bra in place.

"Yup, Paige wants to go see a movie and then we are going to her place to make love. I'm going to take this with me if that is alright." Alexis had just finished pulling up her thong and picked up the double headed dildo for Kate to see.

"Of course. You can take one of the strap-ons when you are each ready for that phase of your sex life. Just remember to not give away that you are a vampire until you, and more importantly I, are 100% sure that she is ok with that," Kate warned her.

"I know mom, I know. I'm keeping who and what I am from her. Even if I don't like lying to her." Alexis didn't like that part.

Kate hugged Alexis. "I know, but for now it is necessary. If she really loves you she'll get over it when the time comes. Have a little faith. Just enjoy your time with her, she's good for you." Kate kissed her head and went back to getting dressed, pulling down a top with a plunging neckline that barely hid the black demi bra that she was wearing, much like the one Alexis had worn for her first day of sex with Paige.

"What about you mom?" Alexis questioned. "I'm taking Castle to a ball game that actually started just under an hour ago. The Mets against the Yankees, it should be a massacre." Kate was smiling wide and she put her necklace with her key around her neck.

"You're a key holder mom?" Alexis didn't know Kate had put Castle in a chastity device.

"Yup, his training is going relatively well at the moment. He's only had one day when he fought it so far. There will likely be a couple more before he adjusts to being completely mine," she admitted, a little proud of Castle at the moment.

"So since he's locked up I'm assuming you two haven't done it yet," Alexis asked as she put her top on.

"Only using one of our dildos. But I'm going to unlock him in a month and then I'm going to fuck his brains out. I plan on being so sore I can barely walk." She started blushing, which caused Alexis to start chuckling.

They were both dressed. "Have a nice date with your lover, Alexis. Just remember to call me if you can't get home in time."

"We will, and have a nice date with Castle, mom. I love you." Alexis hugged Kate.

"I love you too, sweetie." Kate hugged Alexis back, and jumped away after letting go of her.

Alexis smiled and went outside to get a taxi after making sure she had everything on her. A night filled with making out in a movie theater followed by making love to each other and screaming each others names while having multiple orgasms... Alexis was going to enjoy tonight and make very sure that Paige did, too.

Kate knocked on Castle's door three times and waited. It only took a moment for Castle to answer the door. "Hi Castle, ready to go? They are likely already in the second inning," she said, warning him that they needed to hustle.

"All set Mistress, let's go." Castle closed and locked his door. He let his Mistress take his hand and start walking to the elevators that finally worked and went outside to get a taxi. It was going to be expensive and take time to get there from Brooklyn. It was actually the bottom of the third inning by the time they reached their seats.

"Front row right behind the Yankees dugout! How did I get so lucky finding you?" He was impressed. "These tickets must have cost you a small fortune!" He was guessing hundreds of dollars and was still off by several hundred.

"You're worth every penny Castle." Kate squeezed his hand. He leaned in close to whisper in her ear, "I'm a lucky man Mistress."

Kate had decided to allow him to abbreviate her name on occasions, especially when they were out in public. One of these days she was going to alter his training so that he didn't whisper it into her ear. She had no problem with having him calling her Mistress Kate out loud even when they were out in public, but it was fine for now. He still had a long ways to go in his training.

It was the fifth inning and the Yankees were doing well when Castle leaned in close and whispered into her ear. "Do you want something to eat Mistress and may I call the hot dog and beer guy over? I'm starving," he admitted as his stomach grumbled.

Kate's face lit up like a search light causing his heart to jump. He had obviously said something that pleased her as she was looking at him with pure love in her eyes.

Actually she couldn't believe it. He had asked her for permission without her having to teach him his place. "Of course Castle, I'll even buy it for you. However I'm not hungry. …At least not for food," she replied while smiling. Then Kate leaned in near to him. "I'm going to ravage your ass when we get home," she purred into his ear.

He, in turn, leaned in to whisper back. "I am yours Mistress Kate. You own my heart, my head, my body and my soul, and can fuck me in the ass whenever you please." Then he nibbled on her ear, causing her to shudder.

Kate was so pleased. He seemed to be learning his place nicely. She was going to have to think of something to show him how happy she was with him, when suddenly she had an evil idea to test just how well he was taking to his training. Yes, she liked this idea a lot.

She was watching the Yankees plaster the Mets while Castle ate his hot dog, drank his beer, and called for another beer AFTER asking Mistress Kate for her permission.

Kate was so happy, she was definitely going to ravage Castle's ass tonight when they got home.

The Yankees beat the Mets 8-3 and Soriano with 3 at bats, 1 hit, 1 run scored and 3 RBIs had a great game as second base. Brosius with 4 at bats, 1 hit, 2 runs scored and 3 RBIs at third base also had a great game.

Their luck at getting a foul ball or even a bat that a batter couldn't keep a grip on never came into play. Still Kate, and judging by the smile on his face, Castle had a wonderful time.

She held his hand all the way home; they were just reaching his building as he opened the door for them. "Did you notice people staring at my key, Castle?" she questioned him.

Rick actually thought the men were staring at his Mistress's breasts since she was wearing a top that displayed them for all to see. He was proud to know that those same breasts would be going home with him.

"Yes, Mistress Kate, I noticed them staring at your chest." He spoke his mind.

"Are you jealous Castle? There's no need to be. I have you. I own you and have no need of anyone else. Plus you're handsome and have an exquisite ass that I am now going to ravage. Take off your clothes, get into bed, and assume your position," she ordered.

"Yes, Mistress Kate." She watched him walk to the bedroom taking his clothes off as he went.

She stripped when she reached the bedroom and found Castle on the bed on his hands and knees with his ass facing her. She stroked his healing cheeks, picked up the smallest vibrator and bottle of lube, and got Castle and the vibrator ready.

Kate was soon ramming the vibrator in and out of Castle's ass, ravaging him as she listened to him moan.

When she finally tired of ravaging Castle's ass, it was her turn to be on the bed on her hands and knees. She ordered him to use the other vibrator to ravage her ass.

Castle used the lube as he was directed and started to slowly insert it into his Mistress's ass, till she had adapted to having something in her ass. When she was ready, he rammed it in and out of her, causing his Mistress to moan loudly.

He watched as the vibrator went in and out of her ass and watched how it stretched her skin. Then his Mistress moved one of her hands down and started stroking her core and her clitoris.

It was only minutes before his Mistress was screaming out as he watched her hand blur with the speed that she was rubbing her clitoris as she squirted all over his comforter.

He pulled the vibrator out of his Mistress's ass as she fell onto the bed whimpering softly. "Did I hurt you Mistress?" He really didn't want to hurt her.

"No Castle, I'm fine. Join me and kiss me." She turned over and lifted up her arms inviting him into her arms. He crawled up onto the bed and worked his way up his Mistress's body till he was lying next to her, kissing her as he searched her mouth.

It allowed her to taste him and use her fang yet again to nip his lower lip just enough to get it to bleed as she sucked on his blood and felt her eyes roll into the back of her head. 'God, but he tastes so very good,' she thought as she loved his taste.

She tucked Rick, who had fallen asleep on her, into his bed, then got dressed and jumped for home. She changed into a sleep shirt and sat in bed, reading a book with her back up against the headboard, till Alexis got home.

It was an hour before the sun came up when Alexis walked into their bedroom and walked straight into the closet. She came out naked a moment later which allowed Kate's keen eyes to see the hickey marks and scratches that were on Alexis's body.

Alexis slipped into a sleep shirt and went to the windows to make sure that they were all closed, even though all of the blackout drapes were already shut. Kate started smiling, since it was obvious that Alexis was stalling before coming to bed.

Kate put her book aside and waited for Alexis to crawl into bed and snuggle in close. With her arms wrapped around her daughter she said, "I take it you two enjoyed your date." Kate was teasing but she couldn't help it.

"It was fine," Alexis responded, causing Kate to talk to herself. "So I'm going to have to dig it out of you, am I?"

"The hickey marks suggest it was more than fine," Kate informed her. "Alexis, sweetie, I'm not digging for blow by blow, or in this case lick by lick, recount of what happened. But I do want you to talk to me a little. I'm your mother and I worry about you."

She sighed and relaxed against Kate's skin. "We spent the night making love to each other. Paige is insatiable, I don't think she ever gets tired. We both are having multiple orgasms. Over and over again. I've got sore muscles that I didn't even know I had!" Alexis started blushing a deep red.

"Sounds like you two have the sex part of your relationship down, now you just need more dates to get to know each other better. …I know she is your friend and you know at least a little about her. What I mean is you two have to get comfortable with being with each other in public."

"Holding hands in public, kissing in public, telling the other that you love them in public. When you two can do that, you'll be a loving couple. And I am happy for you, sweetie. I really hope that Paige is the one for you." Kate bent down and kissed her head.

"How did your date with Castle go?" Alexis turned the tables on her.

"The Yankees beat the Mets and Castle was actually really good. I need to think of a way to thank him for adapting to his training so quickly. At least for now." She was happy with him.

"You're thinking that he will fight back from you taking control of his life?" Alexis asked.

"He already has actually, but I managed to put an end to it. But yeah, I expect him to fight back to regain his ability to make all his own decisions. It's inevitable really, I just need to be ready for it," she explained.

"The house seems to be happy mom, I think you letting them out for the 4th was a wise move. We had just lost 2 people and word about their rounds had spread fast, it was a low point in our history." Alexis commented changing the subject.

"Best case scenario is that after we create enough new rounds that the death dealers go out on a successful patrol. That should lift everyone's spirits. Right now we are behind the eight ball and playing catch up. We need a victory badly." Kate agreed.

"We'll get it mom, we'll get it. Did you pick one of the satellite locations?" Alexis changed topics again.

"Solomon and I selected one and went on a tour to see what it would take to convert it. We have the silver and are getting more soon, we just need to move it there. I've got a site to get the equipment and acid from. We can do that tomorrow and start setting up the lab. The sooner the better, since we are in a weakened position right now," she answered.

"No date with Paige tomorrow sounds like." Alexis wasn't complaining, not really. Just that right now their relationship was in the honeymoon phase and they liked being together and making love with each other.

Kate squeezed Alexis tight for a moment. "You'll survive daughter of mine and so will your relationship with Paige. I'm just happy for you." She kissed her head again and they both just relaxed in each other's arms till the sun hit the shutters and they both died.

Rick woke up, found himself naked, and all tucked in on his bed. As he remembered last night, a smile started to spread across his face. A baseball game with a beautiful woman who had every red blooded male looking at her since she was so sexy, and yet she was with him. Mistress Kate had chosen HIM!

Then there was the sex that they had last night. He knew he had enjoyed it even if he had never gotten an erection, nor had he ever been inside his Mistress. Still he had enjoyed it. It had never occurred to him that having someone fuck his ass could be so…exciting. And his ass didn't hurt anymore. He was adapting to having the vibrator in his ass.

He rolled out of bed, sat on the toilet, and peed. It still felt weird having to sit to pee. But his steel cage didn't seem to be getting in the way. Still, he stepped into the shower and tried to work around his cage to get clean. It had caused him to create a new routine.

A dressed and ready to meet the day Rick emerged from the bedroom feeling better than he had in a long time. He even had an idea so he went looking for his phone. He knew his Mistress had called him, so now he had a record that had her phone number.

After finding it he placed it into his contact list and phoned the number. Except after just four rings he got voice mail. "Good morning Mistress Kate, I wanted to thank you again for the date and ask if you wanted to spend the day together again. I know it sounds silly, but I miss you already. Call me when you get a chance. Bye Mistress." He ended his call and decided it was time to go get some breakfast.

Rick was soon back home and full from eating a big breakfast, he didn't know why he was so hungry lately. Still he had a mystery to solve so he grabbed his new laptop and took a taxi all the way into Manhattan to get to the Public Library where he plugged in his laptop and connected to their Wi-fi.

He watched his movie of those two men again, and again, and again. "I still don't know where the hell they went," he moaned to himself. People don't just vanish, this was the 21st Century, not the 23rd or 24th like Star Trek.

Suddenly he went off on a wild tangent about aliens and government cover ups. Aliens that looked like humans, but needed to steal their money to survive. Or maybe they were wearing human looking skin-like covers when what was underneath was anything but human.

All at once he seemed to wake up. He didn't know what time it was. Looking up he found himself almost alone with the library almost empty. He looked at the clock on his laptop. "9:32 pm!?"

The next thing he noticed was his stomach loudly growling at him. No wonder he was hungry, he hadn't eaten anything in 12 hours. Had he fallen asleep at his laptop while trying to figure out where those 2 men with weapons and what looked like bags filled with money had gone?

His laptop was still active and not in sleep mode, so he had been doing something. Looking at what was open surprised the crap out of him. With his mouth hanging wide open, he started back tracking, page after page.

No, even that wasn't right - it was chapter after chapter. "I've been writing?" He didn't believe it, he hadn't had any interest in writing for a long time. "I've been writing." He played that over in his mind. "I"VE BEEN WRITING!" he practically yelled out, and instantly slapped his hand over his mouth because of his sudden outburst and looked around.

It didn't look like anyone was angry at the sound of his loud voice. What he didn't notice was someone taking pictures of him while writing notes in a notebook.

He didn't know what to do next until his stomach switched from growling at him to causing him pain. "Okay, okay. I'll go look for dinner. Hey, maybe the Egyptian place. I can test it out and if it's any good, suggest it to Mistress Kate," he said to himself.

Rick packed up everything and went looking for the closest ATM since he was going to need more cash. From there he took a taxi to the restaurant that was still open and had an open table for one.

He didn't notice the taxi stopping right behind his and waiting there till he was inside the restaurant. Only then did the passenger get out and move across the street to wait for Rick to come back out.

He decided on one of the more authentic Egyptian choices. An hour later and he was using the Egyptian bread to wipe his plate clean as he finished eating. Yeah, he was definitely asking his Mistress if she wanted to come eat here someday.

It had cost him a little more than he remembered from when he had read the menu earlier when they were closed; he knew he didn't have enough money for a taxi all the way home. So he started walking for the closest subway station.

He was really close when he saw his train. It looked like it had been sitting there for a while, which told him it was going to close its doors and take off soon, so he started running.

His trips down to the exercise room seemed to be working out for him as he was running pretty fast and took the steps two or three at a time without tripping and falling. He slid in-between the closing car doors just in time.

He didn't see the man behind him huffing and puffing in the subway station, bent over trying to recover from his wind sprint, attempting to catch up to Rick before he lost him. "DAMN IT!"

Still, after he caught his breath, he pulled out his cell phone and made a call. "Yes?" was his response when the person he called answered. "I have some early information for you, when and where?" he asked the person he had called.

"My office tomorrow at 9:00 am, we will be waiting for you. Don't be late." And she hung up.

He hated that woman and didn't much like the other one either. But it was a job and they agreed to the inflated price he had asked for readily enough. Their history of Rick had lead him to stake out the Public Library for days as he watched Rick come and go from it.

Each time he missed where Rick went to when he left. There was no record of where Richard Castle lived. He knew a guy who did him a favor, for a price. Even his friend couldn't find anything.

Pissed that he missed a chance at following Rick, he changed platforms and took a train back to where he had left his car so he could go home and get his notes together for tomorrow morning. He wanted in and out of it fast.
